Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 77 Qin Mu's teaching method, the simple and effective method of iron and steel smelting
Hearing this news, Qin Mu was a little dazed.

The war in which Great Qin unified Baiyue was the most tragic war in the entire history of Great Qin.

In the first Qinyue War, the First Emperor sent 50 troops to march south.

General Tu Sui sent his troops south, which cost a lot of money.

As a result, the 50 Qin army was defeated by the [-] Yue army.

The main general Tu Sui was killed, leaving only 50 of the 20 Qin army!

The death rate reached [-]%!
And Baiyue is not feeling well either!
6000 troops, only [-] were left in the end!
Among them, the greed, tyranny and bloodthirsty of the Great Qin general was a major cause of defeat.

But the most important thing is that the Qin army from the north has difficulty adapting to the hot climate and terrain in the south!

Facing the Baiyue army lurking in the jungle, Da Qin couldn't catch up with him, and couldn't get rid of him if he wanted to retreat.

The soldiers will be exhausted, and a big defeat is the inevitable result!
In particular, the Baiyue army seized the opportunity and assassinated Tu Sui of Daqin!

The Great Qin army was the best in the world, but the chief general was assassinated!
It can be seen how dispirited the army was at that time.

Even in the second Qin-Yue war in history, although the Qin army suffered few casualties.

But the main general Zhao Tuo supported his troops with self-respect!
He became a frontier guard who listened to the tune but not the propaganda.

After Qin Ershi came to power, anti-Qin armies surged up.

Zhao Tuo refused to go north to fight.

After the death of Qin Dynasty, he became the king immediately, known as Nanyue in history!
Of course, after Qin Mu crossed over, the second Qinyue War had not yet begun.

Could this be the trigger for the Second Qin-Yue War?

However, thinking of the Qinyue War recorded in the history books, Qin Mu felt a little uncomfortable.

In this world war, the injured are nothing more than the common people!

Before the war officially started, tens of thousands of people in four counties have already suffered.

If it continues to develop, how many people will suffer?
Moreover, in Qin Mu's heart, he has never had a good impression of those alien races!

That being the case, it would be bad if this iron-smelting technology continues to be kept private!
Qin Mu still hopes that Daqin can calm down Baiyue!
At this time, Ying Zheng asked again: .

"Mu'er, you really can't tell me about the art of smelting iron?"

Qin Mu sighed, waved and said: .

"Come here, I'll show you."

Zu Long was immediately pleasantly surprised, he was very curious, what kind of technology can make the iron tool cut the bronze so easily?
As he walked, he said: .

"Mu'er, don't worry, I will definitely report to His Majesty and let him reward you properly!"

Qin Mu said angrily: .

"Come on dad. Where's the wife you promised me last time?
The last time I made a vow, I introduced my wife and considered rebellion.

What now?

Alas, I found out.

Daddy, you only have Daqin in your heart, not my son! "

Zulong is embarrassing.

What Qin Mu said was indeed his wrongdoing.

Last time, in order to obtain papermaking skills, he made nonsense and betrothed the daughters of several generals to Qin Mu.

It's just that when you really want to implement it, it's very difficult.

He can know the name of the daughter, that is the apple of his eye.

I don't want to say whether I want to be a concubine for a six-year-old child.

Let’s just say that if these generals are really married, they will be the most powerful force in Daqin!
It would be fine if Qin Mu is really the prince, but if it is not the prince...

How can the new king suppress him when he succeeds to the throne?
This is something he must consider as an emperor.

As for Qin Mu saying that he only has Da Qin and has no sons, something is wrong.

In his heart, Qin Mu and Da Qin had already become one.

Without Qin Mu, Daqin would not be able to prosper!
Now he only hopes that Qin Mu will be the prince, in this way, everything will be settled!

Soon, the two came to Li Hei's blacksmithing shed.

It's full of weird stuff.

Some Zulong recognized it, such as a big blast furnace as tall as two people.

The bottom is hollow, burning charcoal fire.

The upper part can be sealed and used to smelt iron ore.

Others are more novel things.

For example, something similar to a bear trap, but wrapped in pleated hide and a tube at the bottom.

Qin Mu told him that this is called Fenggu.

Standing on it and stepping on it can make the flame in the furnace more prosperous.

There was a huge pile of black stuff by the stove.

Qin Mu turned it into a block of iron, which is the so-called pig iron.

This kind of iron is hard, but has poor toughness and is easily broken.

This is currently the most common iron in Daqin.

The real key lies in a furnace in the middle of the blacksmith shed.

The stove was as tall as half a person, with a big mouth and a round belly, and a strong flame was burning in it.

And blacksmith Li Hei was holding a tong, holding a piece of red-hot iron, and beating it violently with a hammer in his hand.

After a few strokes, he folded the iron and continued to strike.

Zu Long watched from the side, the blacksmith had already swung hundreds of hammers, and still had no intention of stopping.

Zu Long looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: .

"Mu'er, is this the method of making iron you mentioned?"

Qin Mu nodded.

This is the popular "Hundreds of Steelmaking" casting technology during the Three Kingdoms period.

The pig iron is melted and cast, and then repeatedly heated and beaten in a charcoal fire to be smelted into steel.

The resulting weapon is sharp, tough, and extremely durable.

Zu Long was stunned.

It's that simple?
Although he doesn't know most of the things in this field, he also knows that it is not difficult to make such a set of tools.

With the combination of these unskilled tools, can the iron of Dian Wei's ax be made?

If you go back and summon the royal craftsmen yourself, I'm afraid it will be put into production in just a few days!

Looking at his expression, Qin Mu knew what he was thinking.

This is actually the reason why Qin Mu chose the "Hundred Steelmaking" casting technology.

This kind of steel casting, to put it bluntly, does not have any technical content, as long as the blacksmith is willing to work hard and knock hard.

More technical content, such as the method of frying steel and pouring steel, is very troublesome to prepare.

With Daqin's technical level, it would be more difficult to achieve.

But Baisteel does not have these problems.

Moreover, the advantage of Baisteel Refining is that the weapons it makes are extremely durable.

During the Three Kingdoms period, all weapons were basically made of [-]-year-old steel.

Zu Long looked at Li Hei's hard work, and asked Qin Mu: .

"I'm afraid the output of this kind of steel is extremely low?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said: .

"The output of Baisteel is mainly constrained by lump iron.

I just have a stove, and I went to Fangshi to buy a batch in order to make an ax for Dian Wei.

However, it's no problem for you.

If it is Daqin officials who want to cast hundreds of steel.

As long as you build more blast furnaces and use more blacksmiths, the output will be extremely high!

At the very least, it is not a problem to supply the troops who conquer Baiyue in the south in advance! "

Hundreds of steelmaking was popular in the Three Kingdoms period, and it was also a troubled time where heroes competed for the throne.

That is a matter of dispatching an army of 30 to [-] at every turn, and [-] steel refineries can fully supply it!

Not to mention the Great Qin period!

Sure enough!
